Allens and O's on Ice

For Christian's birthday this year, we went ice skating at the Leisure Centre in Medicine Hat. It was a great time! Grandma Tammy babysat Jett while we played on the ice!

Dynamic Duo

After a long day at work, Christian enjoys a little play time with Jett-or should I say nap time? I think it is so cute to see father and son bonding together! Jett definitely knows how to sleep-he was taught well by his Dad! These two look more alike everyday!

Laundry Lullaby

Tessa was doing the laundry and trying to hold Jett at the same time-obviously it wasn't working! She decided to put Jett into the laundry basket and by the time she was up the stairs, this little babe was fast asleep. I guess the smell of fresh laundry is comforting! We love the fact that he fits perfectly in a laundry basket. But, he won't for long!

Guy Smiley

Jett is growing very fast! He now weighs 11 lbs. 9 oz. We have been enjoying his company in our home. He is a such a good baby. This week he has been smiling more and is now 7 weeks old! We're so excited to see what he'll do next!

The world of the Oliverson Family

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Oliverson family. We haven't been seen much in the past 9 months since Tessa has been pregnant. We've been assembling furniture, buying supplies and enjoying every Saturday morning like it was our last!

We expect our new little boy to arrive any day now. Grandma Tammy and Grandpa Ralph came to Medicine Hat for a week long visit. They were really hoping to see a baby born while they were here. Unfortunately their trip ends tomorrow and Tessa isn't showing any imminent signs of labour.

Last week I (Christian) was diagnosed with The West Nile virus, so if anyone finds the mosquito that nailed me feel free to squash him. I'm feeling much better now and have been told that it just takes time for it to run it's course.

Tessa is doing great! She is the healthiest pregnant woman I have ever met. I think she has taken the "pregnant glow" to a whole new level! She has just started taking on scrapbooking projects. I was asked to help come up with a name but Tessa didn't like "I Scrap Your Crap" so I think she's going to figure out her own business name. If anyone would like to hire her, she charges $10 per hour to personalize anyone's family photos into gorgeous album pages. She also makes "prefab" pages where all you have to do is insert your pictures for an "easy do it yourself scrapbook."

I have been busy making plans for an autumn landscaping project. Tessa has approved the drawings and the city just came out and marked any underground hazards that we might encounter. Our TO DO list includes: garden, sprinklers, fence, fire pit, driveway and sod. So, I have my work cut out for me. I hope the weather holds up because that will determine how far we get if the snow starts falling it might turn into a basement framing project until Spring.

We hope you have enjoyed the first look into the O-Zone. I hope it will be my new bi-monthly Sunday activity. We hope you are all healthy and happy and are as excited as we are about the upcoming baby boy.

Cheers! -Christian, Tessa and Baby O.-
